Shortly before the pandemic began, Uncle Joe and yours truly borrowed two Royal Enfields from Royal Enfield North America and toured Baja. One was the new 650 Interceptor, and I liked it so much I bought one when I came home. The other was a 500cc Bullet, and, well, you might want to read the blogs to understand how we felt about it. Truth be told, the Bullet was probably better than we perceived it to be (that was because the dealer did a half-assed job prepping it for us). Nah, that’s not fair (it implies the dealer did half of what he should have). But there’s no expression for 10%-assed, and even that might be giving the dealer too much credit. But I don’t want to spoil the story for you. You can get to the Enfield adventures here.

Reminds of a favorite Cowboy poem – google this

A “bullet” poem.
Hello. Just read your article on the Baja adventure on the Janus. Sounded awesome! Wondering how you’d compare the Janus Gryffin to the Royal Enfield INT650? Thanks!
The Janus is more of an around town, low speed bike. The RE 650 is a full-sized motorcycle equally at home on the freeways and in town.
Thanks Joe! Really enjoying your blog!
You bet, Sandy, and we enjoy getting comments from our readers!
